HCS.Meta.Robots

Easily configurable Robots.txt defaulting to a deny all unless enabled. Perfect for when you have multiple environments.

Installation

Add the package to an existing Umbraco website (v10.4+) from nuget:

dotnet add package HCS.Meta.Robots

To enable robots.txt and prevent it from returning a deny all add the following to your Appsettings.json

"HCS": {
    "Meta": {
        "RobotsEnabled" : true,
        "RobotsEntries" : [],
        "RobotsAddToDefault" : false
    }
}

When enabled with an emtpy RobotsEntries array the response will be:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /app_data
Disallow: /app_plugins/
Disallow: /install
Disallow: /bin
Disallow: /umbraco/

Additional options

RobotsAddToDefault if set to true, the entries in RobotsEntries will be merged with the default response rather than replacing it note, they are merged AFTER the default.
